What is an Abaya?

The abaya is an elegant and loose robe-like dress that originated in the Arab world. This garment covers the entire body except the face, hands and feet, and is designed to be as loose as possible, in accordance with Islamic precepts.

But an abaya is anything but boring! There are countless styles and designs: from simple, functional abayas for everyday use to luxurious, detailed versions for special occasions. Think of models with or without a zipper, wide sleeves or elastic cuffs, solid colors or beautiful patterns. Some are decorated with subtle details such as bows and strings, while others remain minimalistic and classic.

Whether you prefer a traditional, understated look or a chic, modern look, the abaya offers a perfect combination of simplicity and elegance. Which style suits you?
